Arches Aquarelle Hot Pressed (HP)

Its 100 % long cotton fibre composition gives the paper its beauty, a natural, lasting whiteness and an inimitable touch as well as strength.

Exclusive to ARCHES^®, gelatin sizing to the core preserves the lustre and transparency of the colours whilst preventing paints from penetrating into the paper. It allows superposing of washes and gives it added strength to resist erasing and scratching without tearing or linting. It also allows paints to be removed, either wet or dry, easily revealing the whiteness of the paper. ARCHES® Aquarelle can absorb a large amount of water with limited deformation.

Uses

Ideal for watercolour painting, as for all wet techniques such as ink, gouache and acrylic.

Formats

Sheets, rolls, pads glued on the short side, block glued on 4 sides

100% cotton

The cotton gives the paper beauty, a natural, lasting whiteness and an inimitable touch as well as strength and longevity.

Texture

3 textures: cold pressed, hot pressed and rough. ARCHES^® Aquarelle has an even, natural grain. The choice of texture will depend on the medium used by the artist. As a general rule, though, texture is a matter of personal choice for the artist, part of the process of artistic creation and expression.

185, 300, 356, 640 and 850 gsm

Exceptional bulk. Wide choice of grammages offering every artist the chance to choose the paper with the bulk best suited to his/her technique. Only ARCHES^® offers such a high grammage paper (850 gsm) for special extra-large format work using extreme wet techniques.

Special formulation

Sized to the core with natural gelatin: a process exclusive to ARCHES^®. ARCHES® is the only paper mill in the world to gelatin size its watercolour paper “to the core”. Even if it is soaked for a long time, the paper will still retain enough gelatin not to become too absorbent.

Colours

Natural white and bright white.

Sheets: authenticity and prestige

Deckle edges

Conservation

Fungicidal treatment to prevent the appearance of mould. With alkaline reserve, acid-free, no optical brightening agents (permanent in accordance with ISO 9706)
